A special treat for an Olympic medalist

A few days ago we reported on what it's like to eat in the
Olympic Village. We've learned a bit more since that post,
especially some interesting details about one Olympic athlete's
eating preferences, through an article from The Washington
Post and an Instagram post from chef David Chang.

Chang posted a photo of the special creation he made for gold
medal winner Chloe Kim: a churro ice cream sandwich. Chang
assembled the concoction after learning that Kim was a fan of
churros, ice cream, and sandwiches. Chang's Instagram post, pictured above, was
captioned ﻿"Surprised @chloekimsnow after her big win
yesterday with churro ice cream sandwiches. Made in basically five
minutes with pizza dough we found in the cafeteria because she
loves churros, sandwiches, and ice cream. Proud of team [USA]."

The 17-year-old Kim definitely prefers junk food to fine dining,
judging from her social media posts, chronicled by The Washington Post.
Kim has posted photos of her driving with her father to grab an
In-and-Out burger, enjoys Flamin' Hot Cheetos so much that she had
some shipped to New Zealand while training there, and has claimed
that churros are a good antidote to nervousness.
